Entrance to Muir Woods is free for Veterans Day weekend

In recognition of current and former servicemen and women, all 398 national parks will offer free admission over the Veterans Day weekend.

The $7 entrance fee to Muir Woods National Monument, the only one of Golden Gate's national parks with an entrance fee, will be waived Saturday, Sunday and Monday, park officials said.

"The national treasures that are embodied in Muir Woods, Fort Point and the many beaches and military features that are scattered through Golden Gate National Parks are examples of what our veterans have kept safe for us," GGNRA Superintendent Frank Dean said.

This Veterans Day weekend is the last of the National Park Service entrance fee free days for 2012. More information is available at http://www.nps.gov/finda park/feefreeparks.htm.
